This was an okay beer in my mind. As an IPA it was an okay beer, but I was expecting and wanting something more refreshing and citrusy. I thought it actually lacked apricot flavor. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't looking for a juicy type beer, but just didn't taste the apricot as much as I wanted to. It was a nice beer, but I thought it was very average.

L- Dark gold to almost agave syrup colored. it has a thin light tan to white head that leave a nice lacing all the way to the end

S- light hoppy smell is about all I can get in the way of smells

T- very sweet beginning with hint of malt and apricots. After the initial sweetness there is a light hoppy taste that follow but nothing overwhelming.

M- medium carbonation that goes down well. overall mouthfeel is on the border of being thin to medium. if 1 was watery and 5 was a full medium I'd give it about a 3 on that scale in terms of body.

O- Overall this is a good beer. I was impressed in the color and taste and was very happy with these. I was a little disappointed by the smell but the overall feel and taste of this beer more than makes up for it. I would definitely buy this again. This is a unique beer that I had high expectations for especially since I like apricots and like most of Dogfish Head's offerings. I would not necessarily consider this an IPA so much as a pale ale with the lacking hops I've come to expect with an IPA. (I could be biased expecting something closer to a double IPA but who know.) I know this is listed as a seasonal offering but when/if you find this I would recommend giving it a shot. I would love to try this fresh out of a keg!!!
